Personal Evaluation Inventory (PEI) (Shrauger, 1990). This is a 54-item scale (with
four choices from ‘‘strongly agree’’ to ‘‘strongly disagree’’) measuring self-confidence
defined as a person’s sense of his or her own competence or skill and perceived
capability to deal effectively with various situations. It was designed to measure the
specific domains of self-confidence: academic performance; athletics; physical
appearance; romantic relationships; social interactions; and speaking with people.
In addition to the six subscales, there were also general confidence and mood state
factors thus forming eight subscales with seven items in each (except the subscale of
athletics, which had five items).
